Kenji got his 3rd broviac put in yesterday. He's doing well. We'll be here for a few more days for monitoring. Kenji's having some thyroid issues so they are monitoring his calcium levels too. Thanks to everyone for their continuous prayers!

Farewell 2012 and Hello 2013! Much needed...Update!
2012 was one hell of a roller coaster. I need time to heal from everything that occurred but Kenji's my primary focus right now. I will get my time once Kenji's health and medical condition is under control. I hope 2013 will bring nothing but health and prosperity to everyone... especially Kenji.
So my last post, Kenji was still in the hospital being treated for Staph. We were there for about a week then was discharged home and to continue his antibiotics every 6 hours at home. Well, not even a week and we ended back in the hospital again when he spiked a temp of 103 again. Labs and cultures were done and he was put back on multiple antibiotics again. Come to find out, this time around, he has a yeast/fungal infection. With this being his 2nd line infection within less than a month, his broviac needed to be pulled. So, Kenji was transferred to the PICU, sedated, picc line inserted and broviac pulled. After he was stable he was transferred back out on the floor. Kenji spent Christmas and New Year at Presby Hospital in room 212. A week passed and his cultures were still positive for yeast...and now Staph too! His Picc line had to be pulled now too in order for the antibiotics to clear the infections so 2 peripheral IVs were put in...one in his neck and one in his right hand (that didn't last but a day) and now in his left foot.

Due to the circumstances, our PA trip was once again cancelled bc the Peds are saying we will be here for a good 2-4 weeks. A new date has not been set as of yet.
Pleaaaassseee...say a prayer for my sweet boy. Thank you!
I'd also like to thank our nieces and nephews for spending the holidays with us at the hospital.
Merry Xmas from Kenji!
Happy New Year's Eve!
